Well, I'm not the only person to be taken by surprise by this: Tickets for the 2011 Aegon International are ALREADY on sale! The 2010 event saw the move to a centralised box office - which was by no means universally popular, shall we say? - and the distribution of tickets wasn't announced until around three months before the tournament.
I received my first free text alerts regarding the 2011 event on Friday (hopefully I'll be involved in sending them out again, come the event), from eastbournetennis.com and eastbournetennis.net. More info on ticket availability is now on the aforementioned websites.
If you're in the Eastbourne area, there's still a couple of hours left to buy your tickets on site this afternoon (open till 5pm at the International Tennis Centre, Centre Court Building, Devonshire Park). The ONLY other dates you'll be able to buy tickets ON SITE before Saturday 11th June next year, according to the letter sent out by tournament director Gavin Fletcher, will be next weekend (Saturday 30th and Sunday 31st October, 10am - 5pm, both days). The other options, of course, are online or by telephone. There's a slight reduction (generally around £1 for a daily ticket, £5 for a weekly one) if you purchase before 4th January 2011.
I know there've been problems submitting comments to these blogspot pages, but if you are able to submit comments or experiences regarding buying tickets, they will of course be very welcome.
